WHEREAS, The subdividers have offered to deed property to the City of Orono <br />for the future development of a cul-de-sac at the South end of Westlake Street. <br />WHEREAS, At their regular meeting held on March 22, 1999, the Orono City <br />Council considered the subdivision application of Robert D. and Lisa S. Erickson, noting the <br />following fmdings of fact: <br />1. The property is located within the LR-IA, Single Family Lakeshore Residential <br />District requiring a minimum of 2 acres lot area. The existing lots are as follows: <br />364 Westlake Street <br />372 Westlake Street <br />0.65 acres <br />2.01 acres <br />2. The subdividers have proposed a lot line rearrangement creating two substandard <br />lots and deeding to the City property for the east half of a future cul-de-sac. The lots are <br />as follows: <br />364 Westlake Street <br />372 Westlake Street <br />Deeded Right-of-Way <br />1.44 acres <br />1.20 acres <br />0.03 acres <br />3. The proposed lots require variances for lot area and lot width because they are <br />undersized for the zoning district. <br />4. The northern lot, 364 Westlake Street, requires a variance for average lakeshore <br />setback, as it is not possible to construct a new residence without encroaching into the <br />average lakeshore setback. <br />5. The subdividers have offered to deed property for the eastern portion of a future <br />cul-de-sac at the southern end of Westlake Street. <br />6. It is intended to develop the cul-de-sac in the future outside of the 75' lakeshore <br />setback, thus reducing the length of Westlake Street. The subdividers have agreed, at their <br />expense, to remove the portion of Westlake Street south of the platted cul-de-sac to Stubbs <br />Bay of Lake Minnetonka. <br />Page 2 of 7
